"The best-case scenario is those remains that we've recovered are matched up to remains we've already recovered."

Members of the Toronto Police Service excavate the back of property along Mallory Cres. in Toronto after confirming they have found human remains during an investigation in relation to alleged serial killer Bruce McArthur on July 5, 2018.

TORONTO — More human remains have been found in a ravine next to a Toronto property where police investigating an alleged serial killer previously found the remains of seven men with ties to the city's gay village.

It is the second set of remains discovered since police began digging Wednesday near the house where Bruce McArthur, who is charged with eight counts of first-degree murder, worked as a landscaper.

Police recovered body parts of seven men from large planters at the same property in the winter months, but have yet to find the remains of one man, Majeed Kayhan, who they allege was murdered by McArthur.

"The best-case scenario is those remains that we've recovered are matched up to remains we've already recovered," lead investigator Hank Idsinga said Friday as investigators continued digging with the help of cadaver dogs.

The remains were discovered Thursday and have been sent for testing with a post-mortem examination set for Monday, Idsinga said.
